The Grim Roofer

March 2017, the lifeless body of a man was found in the roof space of a chemist shop in the Queensbury area in the UK.

Councillors Paul Cromie, an Independent for Queensbury ward, while speaking to a member of the Queensbury Matters Facebook group stated: “Someone has broken into the chemist shop on the High Street through the roof, unfortunately whilst breaking in he died in the roof space and has been dead for several weeks”.

It is believed that the man in an attempt to burgle the outlet, after removing roof tiles to gain access, became stuck and was stifled by his own clothes.

So what can one say about this?

The moral of the story: Occupational Health & Safety applies to all professions!
